Last night Wholesomeone.com hosted a twitter party about yoga therapy, including giving away awesome prizes.  Mel was the featured moderator, tweeter…speaker.  You know what I mean.

If you weren’t able to make it you missed a great conversation about how to practice if you’re a beginner, benefits of yoga and some random thoughts that Mel has about yoga…maybe the only platform where those thoughts are appreciated 😉

RT @MelMoves@TheeJuliette It can Try giving your knees a little bend, might help you find more access to your thoracic spine.#yogatherapy

@MelMoves I’m not flexible. Can I still do yoga and get the benefits?#yogatherapy

@DisneyMom917 You can do more than you probably think you can! Do yoga to discover what you can do. #yogatherapy

@Melmoves @wholesomeone I think anything that can reduce stress is a plus for your health and your mind! #yogatherapy

Yoga does not have to defined by shape-making. You can practice by just following your breath as you move. #yogatherapy

Usually mountain pose is considered the standard foundation for all poses. But I believe it’s cat/cow. Thoughts? #yogatherapy

@MelMoves Considering that the spine is the root of the body, you may be correct. Heating up the spine really empowers you through.

@AutumnNColorado Depends on what you want to do. Make it safe, by forgetting the goal of shape and feel your way through.#yogatherapy

@AutumnNColorado Beginner is always safe. I never find it “easy” because there is always a new personal level. #yogatherapy

@WholesomeOne i notice my stress level is less after i practice yoga#YogaTherapy

#yogatherapy I practice at home. Regularly. Changed my life!
